Sushi & Espy are doing cartwheels over our Elk antlers and aren't afraid to show it! So, if you can imagine we are happy to announce the arrival of Elk Antlers for dogs. Much like deer antlers, these are a great, long lasting chew for your pooch. These antlers are our private label brand and come from Elk in the Rocky mountains (they are naturally shed). Elk are typically much larger than deer, which makes their antlers even bigger, making for an even longer lasting chew. Antlers also have some nutritional value due to the trace elements and minerals that are contained inside of them.

Why our Elk Antlers Chews for Dogs are a paw above the rest:

•Chews hold up longer than most other types of chews
•Safe to chomp as dogs grind them down slowly over time.
•Contain many beneficial nutrients and nothing artificial.
•Have virtually no odor or residue to get on your carpet or furniture.
•All natural
•Naturally shed, recycled dog chew

•Don't splinter
•Come in all sizes for small & big dogs
•Dogs love em'
These single ingredient chews come from a renewable resource naturally. There are no added ingredients in the processing of our natural Elk Antler Dog Chews. The come in all sizes.

No animals are harmed in the collection of our antler dog chews, these are naturally shed every year.

So, what are you waiting for give them a try!

Introducing our Beef Back Strap!

We are excited to bring to you, the beef back strap. Like all of our beef products, these are from free range grass fed cows from South America and contain no additives or preservatives. They are a cartilage piece from the back and have a similar consistency to that of the beef tendon (but much bigger). They are approximately 6" - 8" long per piece and have little to no odor. Although they may not last as long as a bully stick, they are sure to add variety to your pooch's treat regime!

Merrick's Texas Taffy will have your dog beggin for more!

Introducing Texas Taffy, made by Merrick, is a unique backstrap beef dog chew that is new to our site. We have had several requests to launch this product so here it is!

Merrick Texas Taffy is about 7-10" in length and 2-3" in width. It is made in the United States from USDA sourced ingredients. The product will be more of a treat for larger dogs and more of a chew for smaller dogs. It is made from the "backstrap" of a cow and is fairly flexible.

Each piece of Texas Taffy comes individually shrink wrapped.

A Pawz above the rest! Measure your active pup for a pair of Pawz Disposable, Reusable & Waterproof Rubber Dog Boots

We are excited to offer a line of rubber dog boots for all of those pooches out there that love the snow and cold weather (although they can be used for pooches with allergies, in mud, on sand, to avoid lawn chemical exposure, etc).

Made of natural rubber, Pawz Natural Rubber Dog Boots are 100% biodegradable. Pawz are designed to go on easily and fit securely without zippers or straps. The great thing about Pawz is that they leave your pooch with the natural feel of walking on their own paws. Without padding, your pooch can feel the ground, providing a needed sense of security.

And you don't have to worry about losing another expensive boot, these come in a 12 pack and each boot can be worn many times.

 There's a certain satisfaction in eating at a nice dining room table. It makes you feel sophisticated, cultured, and human. My dog eats out of a simple plastic bowl I picked up at the local pet store for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that he's a dog. I can understand having a dog bowl that's raised a bit for taller dogs that have a hard time really leaning down as they get older, but spending $129 on said dog bowl seems a bit…excessive.  Your dog certainly isn't going to notice the difference, and when it really comes down to it, it's not like you're placing filet mignon in there for them either.  I know we like to personify our pets, but having their eating arrangements outstrip our own seems more like putting them in the Trump Towers while we're scraping by in a studio apartment.

Your Dog Travels Better Than You Do

Not that I've ever flown first class, but even when I'm flying in the back of the plane, I expect a certain level of service (at least I used to).  With that in mind, it confuses me that some people would spend more on a carrier for their dog than most of us spend on plane tickets…to Europe.  $690 might seem a bit excessive for a dog carrier to you, but you have to remember that this particular one is made from leather, has numerous flaps for their dog treats, and is stylish beyond measure.  This bag screams "my dog lives better than I do" to anybody that sees the two of you together.  Sure you're driving around in a minivan that's older than your kids, but as far as your dog is concerned, he's in a Bentley the entire time.

Your Dog Dresses Better Than You Do

I want my dog to look good.  This usually means regular grooming, getting his nails clipped, and brushing him.  This does not include buying my dog a mink coat.  Yes…you read that correctly.  People have been known to buy their dogs mink coats.  I don't own a mink coat.  I don't even own anything approaching a mink coat in my closet.  The idea of a mink coat for dogs is strange since dogs are, at least typically, covered in fur.  And yet, for only $70, you too can get your dog a pink mink coat that will confirm that you love your dog more than you love yourself.

Like I've said, we all love to pamper our dogs, but there comes a certain point when all of us have to be careful about crossing over into excess.  Dogs don't care about mink coats and $300 beds.They want bully sticks, lamb treats for dogs, and somebody to scratch their bellies.  Keep that in mind the next time you see that diamond encrusted dog collar that you've been wanting to buy your dog.
